It's good to see the fight finally happen but it's a shame it didn't happen when they were in their prime.
It has been pretty obvious that Floyd has been scared of Manny and the only reason why it's finally going ahead is Floyd believes Manny has slowed down enough. He had to fight him at some point otherwise he would never be truly respected.
Personally I reckon he has waited long enough to give him a big enough advantage for a UD or TKO.
Floyd is a great boxer so I'm not saying Manny would have destroyed him 5+ years ago but it would have been much harder to call. Waiting so long tho has put immense pressure on him to win. If he loses, people will say he would have been demolished 5+ years ago
I just hope their's no rematch baiting controversy. With a fight this big there's a huge incentive to create a 2nd payday via dodgy means
Utd just conceded lol
